Bird Legends.

Following are a few Of the many bird le-
gends that people with bright imaginations
and ready inventions have connected with
feathered musicians, as collated by Harper's
Young Folks;
The poor cuckoo, whose mournful cry
sounds 50 desoate in the quiet wood, is al
ways mourning for the death Of beloved
brother Tho cuckoo was originally beau
tiful young maiden. She caused her broth
er's death unintentionaly, and was changed
into the bird whose sad cry is an expression
Of her bitter grief
The owl was also once a beautiful young
girl. She was bakers daughter. One day
good man. passing 10y, asked for piece of
bread. She refused it, and as punishment
was changed into an owl In Germany the
swallow and the lark are sacred birds, and
their morning song is considered hymn.
The nightingale, you know, only sings at
night This was not so formerly. One night
IA nightingale fell fast asleep, and the tendrls
Of the vine it sat upon grew round It's feet SD
that it could not get away, and finally II
died. Since then the other nightingales never
dare sleep at night.

American side TO turn grindstone Islands
an1 places where no human foot had trod
appeared, and were visited, and flags placed

The reason for this cessation 10 the flow Of

Russian peasant was one day driving
some geese TO a neighboring town where he
hoped 70 sell them He had a long stick IN

was anxious 10 get 10 the market in time %

which the geese were doing every time they
stopped 10 "cackle" The geese however, did
not look on tho matter in this light, and,
CHANGING TO meet a traveller walking along
the road, they poured forth their complaints
against the peasant who was driving them.
"Where can you find geese more unhappy
than we arei See how this peasant is hurry
ing on this way and that, and driving US just
as though we were only common geese
Ignorant fellow, he never thinks how he Is
bound 10 honor and respect US; for we are
distinguished descendants OF those very geese
70 whom Rome once owed its salvation, 50
that festival was established in their honor"
"But for what do you expect TO be dis
tinguished yourselvesi" asked the intelligent
traveller
Because our ancestors'--
ayes. | know; | have read all about IT,
What want to know is, what good have you
yourselves doneP
"Why, our ancestors saved Rome"
ayes, yes; but what have you done Of the
